Can someone tell me what the tint of the neutral romisens is that shiningbeam sells?

I want a light that has a nice sort of cream color and although i like my neutral romisen it is a bit too yellow/orange for my tastes. From what I have seen of the fenix E21 it looks like it will also be a bit too warm for me and that I believe is 4000K, so I'm thinking I may like something like 4500K.

What lights have this tint? Thanks.

It sounds like you're looking for something in the 4C range. If you take a look at the ansi white chart, the 4C bin occupies the ~4300-4500K range. If that's the case, I think the neutral Liteflux's use a 4C emitter, as do the latest neutral run of 4sevens lights. With just those two manufacturers, you have plenty of choices, but I'm sure there's even more. Good luck!

Sol,

If you're considering a P60 based light take a good look at the LF R2 drop-in, single or 3 mode, for very reasonable $18. The pair I have both produce a very nice cream tint. LF specs their R2s for a "daylight" 5000 K balance. I'll say that both of mine are in the 4500 - 5000 K range. BTW, Light Hound is still stocking the R2 based Seraphs. LF is now shipping the XPG based Seraphs in a "cool" white tint.....
